Hi Mike !!
Nothing but sympathy from here !! I know how these things can
go sometimes - and it always seems to be the MOST HARMFUL thing that
can go wrong, DOES !! :-(
For all those wondering what to do - just DELETE all those
messages with the same SUBJECT line ! Don't bother opening them to
read, just highlight them all by holding the shift key & down arrowing,
and hit delete...
FWIW, from what I can see, MOST of these returns seem to be from
good old AOL (the ISP everybody likes to hate !)tm - it might be that
they are pickier about knowing who they are receiving from ??
Anyway, I guess Mike has to find a way to redirect messages from
anyone NOT on the list, OR with 'returned mail' in the subject line, so
the server doesn't see them as normal messages.
Good Luck, Mike !! Again, you have our sympathies !!!
